Steve Hakusa commented on EMERGENCY-10:
---------------------------------------

Quoting from Art's comment

"if there's a need for multiple names there's a need for multiple Areas."

Indeed, multiple areas with multiple names happens very frequently in practice, just like you say.  My comment noted that, in this case, it is still useful to have a *single* string that summarizes *all* the separate area blocks.
